Article source for : Red Tailed Hawk

There is a Raptor in Maumee and I am about 99% sure that it is a Red Tailed Hawk.

The other day we had "bunny fluff" in the front yard - I thought that it was killed by a cat so I didn't think much of it - I just went out with the leaf blower and cleaned up the yard. At one point I went under a crab apple tree in the front and there was a commotion and a huge bird (approx. 4 ft. wing span) flew from the tree swooping down about two feet above my head. I looked up and there was the rest of the bunny in the tree - yuck! I watched the bird go into a tree across the street but when I tried to get a picture of it, it flew away.

I described it to a friend and they said it sounded like a Red Tailed Hawk. I looked it up on the internet and I think he was right.

Has anyone else seen this bird around Maumee?
